Chapter 361: Ball Seal Grabs Points
Coria's serve speed is not slow, Fan Ju is in hot pursuit, and the opponent obviously knows how to dodge his quick reactions, and the angle of the ball is not ordinary out.
It was difficult and risky to serve such a ball, but at this time Coria could not think about it.
A forehand block, no force, the quality of Coria's serve is still worthy of applause, in order to seize more initiative, he is very hard!
The highest point of the arc of the return is about the left and right position of the neck, which is definitely high in terms of ordinary returns, but in terms of extensions, this is good quality.
Fan didn't plan to make it as easy as Coria, even if he planned to rely more on his own serve to score, but he also had to snatch more balls from his opponent's serve to be able to take the seventh ball first.
"Attacked?" Fan Ju glanced at Koria's movements, and he was sure in his heart.
Coria has already put on a powerful posture, obviously planning to start attacking, which is not an element of deception, and there is no room for players to play any tricks at this time.
Short stature, not strong muscles, when all the power is concentrated, it can also emit a strong force, the ball just bounced after landing, and at this moment Coria completed the shot.
Even the line on the side didn't even see the location of the ball just now, and could only be sure that it was indeed in bounds, which showed how fast the swing was.
In the half-volley, Coria decided to take the initiative to score, and even did not hesitate to even give the buffer time given by clay, and did not hesitate to increase the rhythm to play a quick suppression, so that Fan Ju had no time to prepare for counterattack.
"There really is him." The drop point card is very accurate. At the gap between the edge line and the bottom corner, it was almost out of bounds, but it was pressed into the boundary.
Nice strong return ball. Fan Ju was indeed a step slower to really get in place, and although the ball speed after bounce was not fast, Fan Ju actually missed the time to add topspin to the ball.
A spin that's not strong enough? This probably gave Coria another chance to attack and look more prepared than the previous one.
Fan Ju couldn't save the ball this time, the reverse angle landing point was too deep, and the running distance was too large. There is simply no time to pursue.
Coria took the initiative to attack and score, and the applause on the field was not stingy at all, indicating that this ball was played very well. In particular, the two fast-paced strong attacks completely grasped the advantage and suppressed the rhythm of the meal.
"It seems that he still doesn't give up!" The opponent's struggle made Fan Ju passive, even if it was the opponent's serve. But this does not fit the script that Fan Ju expected.
But Koria is the top after all. It's still a top player who is currently ranked higher than Fan Ju, and if you want to beat it easily, and it's on the clay court where the opponent is best at it, it's impossible in itself.
Coria continued to serve, still a one-serve goal, unhappy but steady, and apparently after winning a point, Coria began to turn to steady again.
This is good news for Fan Ju, the backhand position is in the trend. This time, the height of the net has dropped to the chest position.
The power of the ball was sufficient, but it made Coria frown. This time, Fan Ju must have grasped the strength and wanted to be good? It's not that easy.
As Coria thought, Fan Ju waited for the opportunity to move a step forward, and his body had already stepped into the court, since he wanted to play fast with himself, Fan Ju couldn't ask for it, the mistake just now was purely Koria taking advantage of the serve, and now back on the same level, WHO is afraid of WHO!
Coria didn't want to fight with Fan Ju for speed, and if he didn't have an advantage, he would only die faster, he wanted to pull out a return ball with a deep enough landing point and a big enough angle, and wanted to bet Fan Ju back to the bottom line.
"Many!" It's just a little more power, and it's not a big problem if you put it on a normal return.
However, the power of the ball is fixed on the bottom line, which means that whether it is a little more forward force or more outward force, the ball will inevitably be out of bounds!
Coria panicked in his heart, but when the ball landed, he unexpectedly didn't hear any good shouts, he must have thought in his heart, maybe the ball just now was indeed not out of bounds, maybe?
"Mr. referee, that ball just went out of bounds." But Coria didn't expect that the linesman didn't shout, but Fan Ju shouted, and he didn't even touch the ball he could play, the racket was on the ground, and he just looked at the referee and signaled the ball to go out of bounds.
The audience on the field was stunned, even Coria was stunned, after all, the linesman didn't shout that the game was not over, Fan Ju was so confident that he would collect the card, if Coria was replaced, I was afraid that he would hit the ball back first, and it would not be too late to find the referee to change the verdict even after this round was over.
But Fan Ju didn't do it, or he knew that it would be too late by then!
The two sides played this ball very steadily, even if Fan Ju stepped forward, but Coria did successfully press the ball to the backcourt, if he retreated to catch the ball, it means that these few shots may be played several more times.
When the time comes, it's okay to say that Fan Ju won, but what if he doesn't win? It will be a little too late to check the ball print.
I'm afraid the referee won't change the score for this, not unfairly, but think that the players themselves think that they didn't go out of bounds at that time, after all, after playing for so long, there is not only one ball mark on the ground!
In fact, many players have such experience, lose and then look for the referee, but the referee does not admit it, Fan Ju has also encountered in the game, even if the clay is a slow field, the ball speed is hundreds of kilometers when it lands, dare to say that it is impossible to be 100% accurate, just like just now, maybe the linesman is a shaking, and he missed this moment.
Coria didn't say anything, put down the racket and waited for the game to continue, while the referee looked at Fan Ju's affirmative expression, and also looked at the exact place where the ball landed just now, nodded, and walked down from the referee's seat.
After all, this is not an ordinary player's game, it can be said that it is the biggest highlight of this French Open, Fan Ju obviously gave up the shot and asked the referee to confirm, if the referee disagreed, or stubbornly thought that Fan Ju lost points, and even let Fan Ju lose the set, or even lose the game.
Then I am afraid that what awaits him tomorrow will be a stricter denunciation than ever, even if the South American player itself is not very popular in Europe, maybe someone will put the racist hat on his head.
The referee looked at the mark of the ball, it was out of bounds, and it was half a ball away, but he did not directly change the decision, but beckoned to the waiting Coria on the opposite side to come over.
Together with Fan Ju, the three of them confirmed that the ball was indeed out of bounds, and after the two sides had no objection, they returned to the referee's seat and announced the change in the score.
2:1, Fan Ju grabbed the lead in seven games, which is very disadvantageous to Coria, and the next two serves are Fan Ju's, if Fan Ju wins, it means 4:1, directly grabbing a three-ball lead. Put it in the normal service game, and this is already a game point.
Coria was a gentleman and didn't quibble about the ball, he knew why he swung his racket out of bounds, and he knew that the score would definitely go against him when the referee came off the pitch to confirm it.
While waiting, he was not worried, but thinking about how to break in Fanju's service game, and if he couldn't get a ball back, it would mean the outcome of the set.
"I can't believe that his red clay can be so strong, how can I break through his topspin monopoly, and the raid on the net is also difficult for me to deal with, and the simple bottom line hanging, or acceleration does not suppress him too much, but will force me to make mistakes myself."
Koria has these questions in her head, change herself? Maybe one or two balls can work wonders, just like Fan Ju's change of serve, and he will definitely be alert on the next ball.
The same is true for his own speed just now, once he seizes the rhythm to speed up the attack, Fan Ju will definitely react, and the most common way to deal with it is to take a step back to the bottom line, and exchange the space for the rhythm speed that he has improved.
Of course, he knew that if Fan Ju wanted to attack, most of them would not choose this, after all, if the topspin ball wants to play a good effect, it must be done when the ball is rising.
The reason why the rhythm of the topspin ball is fast is also because it has an earlier hitting point, unlike a flat shot, even if you wait for the ball to fall and then swing the racket, as long as the hit is accurate enough and the power is large enough, the gap is not obvious.
So Fan Ju will not retreat to the backcourt, but in addition to this, there are too many ways for Fan Ju to deal with high tempo, fast pace itself is Fan Ju's offensive style of play, Coria is just getting an axe at the class gate, and when Fan Ju, Lu Ban, wakes up, it will not be his turn to play these little tricks.
Coria probably didn't expect that she would one day have such a headache against Fan Ju on clay, and although she played three sets in her last match, Fan Ju still relied on that sudden outburst to steal the game.
And now, if the first three sets were the result of an ordinary match, I am afraid that this final tie-break will be lost by himself, and Coria will already lose in an ordinary game.
"Thankfully, it's a Grand Slam." Fan Ju breathed a sigh of relief and continued to prepare for the game.
He doesn't know how much Coria thinks, although some people say that psychological warfare is also very important in the game, but this psychology is macroscopic, you really have to carefully think about what the opponent is thinking, what to eat at night, whether you are hungry, I'm afraid you still have to be a mind reader.
The psychological observation is mainly the psychological fluctuations formed by the influence of those action tactics and body lì, and the tactics of speculating on the opponent's attack should be completed before the game.
The game is to use all the prepared qiē, use strength to defeat the opponent, than to study the opponent's psychology, it is more important to keep his mentality steady, just like the ball just now, Fan Ju decisively stopped the shooting, so that he effortlessly won the point that should have belonged to him.
The two looked at their opponents in unison, and then put their energy into the game again, whether the ball just now would have any impact, I'm afraid no one knows. (To be continued......)
